GIRARD MGVIOAR AND PETER GLOR, .I R., OF BUFFALO, NEW YORK, AS- SIGNORS TO J. W. RUGER St CO., OF SAME PLACE.

BARRELmHEATER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 343,838, dated June 15, 1886.

Application filed September 1, 1885. Serial No. 175,936. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, GIRARD MCVICAR and PETER GLoR, Jr., both of Buffalo, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Heating-Stoves, of which the following is a specication.

This invention relates to an improvement in heating-stoves, and has the object to producea simple, cheap, and compact stove which can be advantageously employed for heating and drying the inside of barrels in coopering.

The invention consists, to that end, of the novel construction of the stove, which will be hereinafter fully set forth, ard pointed out in the claims.

Inthe accompanying drawings, Figure l is a vertical section ot' our improved stove with a barrel applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section in line aow, Fig. l.

Like letters of reference refer to in the several figures.

A represents the base of the stove, containing the ash-pit B.

O represents the upright cylindrical body of the stove, forming the tire-pot, and provided with a suitable grate, d.

E represents the top, resting on the upper end of the body O, and provided with a re movable cover, e, which is removed for intro ducing the fuel into the fire-pot.

like parts F represents a descending due, which ex tends from the rear portion of the top down wardly on the outside of the body C nearly to the base A of the stove, where it is provided with an elbow, f. The horizontal end of the latter connects with a smoke-pipe, G, which conducts the smoke to the chimney.

H represents a horizontal barrel-support secured to the body of the stove, and extending around the saine above the elbow f, so that the body of a barrel having no heads, when placed on the barrel-support H, will surround the body ofthe stove and the descending line F, as clearly shown in the drawings. rIhe support H is composed of a ring or annular ange, which is provided with openings h, through which the air enters the lower end of the space between the barrel and the body of the stove, thereby establishing an air-current through said space, which enters at the bottom and escapes at the top, and aids materially in drying the inside of the barrel. The barrels are quickly and conveniently placed upon the barrelvsupport and removed therefrom. the heat of the stove is'nearly uniform, if the stove is properly supplied with fuel, the barrels are dried uniformly and quickly, thereby producing the desired drying effect, while pre venting improper charring of the barrels.

1t is obvious that a suitable number of arms `or brackets arranged around the body of the stove may be substituted for the annular flange I-I.

Ve claim as our inventionl. In a stove for drying barrels, the combi nation, with the upright body or fire-pot and the top resting on the same, of a descending flue extending from the top downwardly outside ofthe body/and a barrel-support surrou nding the body, substantially as set forth.

2. The combination, with the base A and upright body G, ofthe top E, resting on said body, and the descending flue F, extending from the top Edownwardly outside of the body G, and provided at its lower end with an elbow, f, substantially as set forth.

3. The combination, with the base A and upright body O, of the top E, resting on said body, the descending ue F, extending from the top E downwardly outside of the body O, and provided at its lower end with an elbow, f, and the perforated flange H, surrounding the body C above the elbow f, substantially as set forth.

VVituess our hands this 161th day of June, 1885.
